When replacing or getting new window coverings, a homeowner should be aware of the things they can do to choose the right window covering for their needs.
Here are a few tips to point you in the right direction:
Tip #1: While budgets can limit your final price, they should not limit your options. Start by evaluating all of your options before looking at the numbers. With custom window coverings, there is always a price range due to the various options such as finish and frame customization that you can do to your window covers. Don’t start by looking at the cost. You may eliminate options that could be perfect! No style of window covering is unattainable, even on a budget.
Tip #2: Do not lose focus on functionality. Figure out what you need your windows to do and choose according to function (while respecting design). Is your main objective controlling sunlight or blocking it? Is child-safety a factor? Or energy efficiency? What about privacy? Each window covering has many pros and cons that differentiate their niches as window covers.
– Cellular blinds can make your windows more energy-efficient
– Blinds and shutters can provide complete light and privacy control with their adjustable louvers.
– Shades are extremely versatile and come in a variety of different styles including solar shades, light-filtering shades, roller shades and zebra shades.
Tip #3: Find your decorating style. Sticking to one style or to one combination of styles will help you find the right aesthetic of window cover to fit your décor. Find your favourite looks in your own space and you’ll be able to define your style of decorating in preparation for new window coverings!
Is your home traditional, contemporary, rustic, or a combination? Do you prefer neutral and calming or colorful and energizing? Do you prefer the clean geometric look on window shutters over busier window shades?
You’ll want to find the most beneficial window coverings with the aesthetic that you desire.
